Born on the bayou x3
Wish I was back on the bayou
Rollin with some Cajun queen
Wishin I were a freight train
Just a chooglin down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou x3
And I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin through the backwoods bare
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin
Chasin down a hoodoo there x
Born on the bayou x3
